Raymont® shoes is a family-owned Greek company based in Athens, with a history that dates back more than 60 years.
It was founded in the mid-1960s by Anastasios Megaloikonomou. However, his connection to men’s footwear had begun much earlier — in the 1940s, during the difficult years of the war. As a child, working alongside his godfather, a strict shoemaker of the time, he learned the craft of handmade men’s shoes, created entirely according to the needs and preferences of each individual customer.
At that time, the construction of a pair of shoes was entirely handmade.
Cutting, stitching, and assembling required time, patience, and precision — often up to two full days for a single pair. These conditions shaped the philosophy that continues to define Raymont today: respect for the material, the craft, and the person who will wear the shoe.
In 1998, his two sons, Panagiotis and Chrysanthos, took over the business, continuing their father’s work with dedication and responsibility. The expertise they inherited, combined with consistency and a constant commitment to quality, became the foundation for the modern evolution of Raymont.
